Labelled 1916 practice plus a proposal: seven checks drawn from Sargent's rules (justify; type; cut-in where it is a speech; return; brevity; opening and cast cards; counts). The order and the pass/fail framing are the worker's; Sargent supplies no test. His text mixes claims, invented examples and reports; OCR defects exist in the chapter.

Labelled 1916 practice plus a proposal: seven checks drawn from Sargent's rules (justify; type; cut-in where it is a speech; return; brevity; opening and cast cards; counts). The order and the pass/fail framing are the worker's; Sargent supplies no test. His text mixes claims, invented examples and reports; OCR defects exist in the chapter. Curator qualifications: Leader types (straight, fact, time, break, cut-in), the cut-in as in-scene speech, time-leader wording and misuses are verified as Sargent's text. The seven-check list (-05) is labelled practice plus proposal. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
